Prohibition Without Compensation.

II.
Prohibitionists IN all parts of the country
are Inanifesting considerable interest in the
important cases now before the United
States Supreme Court, involving the con-
stitutionality OF the prohibition laws of GER
tain States. One of the best
known of these cases is from Kan.
sas, and because of neglect on
the part of the Attorney General of that
State, it is claimed, is in danger of being
decided on an ex parte presen-
tation. The case involves the question
whether the State can destroy a brewers
business without compensating him,
and was ably argued in the liquor
interest by Senator Vest, of Missouri,
and Mr. Joseph Choate, of New York
There was no appearance on the other side
A motion to rehear the case will be made
this morning, and if it is granted
Kansas will be represented. Additional
interest is lent to this case by the fact that
in an exactly similar one Judge Brewer, of
the United States Circuit Court for Kansas,
has decided that the State is bound to COM
pensate liquor dealers for the damage done
them in suppressing their business.
1t will be seen that the principle involved
is one of vital Importance, and justifies the
effort which will be made to have all the
prohibition cases on the Supreme Court
docket advanced, that they may be argued
at the same time. These cases are seven in
number-two from Kansas, four from Iowa
and one from Georgia Though the ques-
tions involved in all are not exactly the
same, they are nearly enough alike to be I'M
favorably affected by an adverse decision in
the Kansas case, now under con-
sideration by the court. 1t is said that an
adverse decision was indicated by re-
marks of the court in reference to Judge
Brewers decision.
1t is needless to say that a decision from
the highest court sustaining Judge Brewers
views would be q great shock to the plan
to promote temperance adopted by various
States Georgia has not thought it wise to
resort to State prohibition law, but has
wisely preferred to let the restraining law
spread only as fast as it is welcomed by local
sentiment, thus insuring for it
respect and obedience. The prin-
ciple that compensation must be paid
for disturbance, however, would certainly
apply in Georgia as well as in those States
which have attempted to prohibit by gem
eral law, and if established by Supreme
Court decision would prove a serious STUN
bling block to local or State prohibition.

A Boston Boys Names for His Tops.
From the Boston transcript.

One top is named Stonewan Jackson because
of an unconquerable tendency to ride ahead"
of the rest. This name shows that Barbara

one small boy. Another long-legged top, which
has a decided preference for a stationary atti-
tude in spinning and wears an aspect of patient,
smiling dignity is named Gen Grant, because,

A Peculiar Superstition of the Wan

Gypsy Lore in Neu York Sun.

Gypsy Lore in Ne1U York Sun
AS with all things else in use among the gyp-
sizes, the kettle-stick has its place among the
legends and lore of the race. 1t is not only an
imperatively needed factor in everyday life, but
it is far more. Indeed, this one black piece of
iron possesses almost the same cherished value
as the ingle-hook. 1t is the typified hearthside
of the race. The female head of the gypsy
household is always its keeper, and the anxiety
about the proper protection of this one bit of
old iron from which the pots and kettles hang
and sizzle above the cherry fires sometimes
amounts to positive lunacy. The reason for
this discovered to be that all sorts of supersti
tons cling to its continued possession. II is
kind of amulet to the gypsy home as an entire
ty. Its loss, especially through any manner of
carelessness, is fully believed to be the precurs

The death of Hon. E. b. Washburne at
Chicago, Saturday after somewhat pro-
tracted illness, removes another of the men
prominent in politics and business during
and after the war. OF late years, however,
he has lived retired life, sometimes mon
toned as a possible candidate for high office,
but apparently taking no part himself in
any effort to bring about his political adj
vancement. The incidents of Mr.. Wash
buInes life which will, perhaps, be remem-
bered longest occurred during his term as
Minister to France, and which have recent
ly been graphically portrayed by his own
pen in .ScribneF's Magazine. He was the
only foreign minister who had the courage
to remain in Paris during the siege by the
Germans and the yet more perilous reign of
the Commune which followed, and the
courage with which he worked in the cause
OF humanity during those terrible days will
always be remembered TO his honor

Professor Charles Wise, the aero
naut, is the son of the late Professor
John Wise, ST., who was lost while
making an aerial voyage. He made
his first ascension. thirty-seven years
ago, when but 10 years of age, at
Shannandale Springs, West Virgin
ia. He went up two and one-half
miles and staid up three hours,
landing sixty-six miles from the
starting point, to which place he re-
turned in an OK cart. Four years
later he made an ascension from
Newburyport, Mass, on the occasion
Of civic celebration. The wind
was blowing toward tho ocean and
the committee offered to pay the
price Of the ascension rather than
take any risks, but after consulting
with his father he decided to make
the ascension. After going up 49,
600 feet very rapidly and descend
ing still more rapidly he struck
Plum Island bar. As there were no
inhabitants and no place to graphic
the only alternative was to jump
out of the car. This he did, landing
safely in the sand.
The balloon, lightened Of its load
shotinto the air and blew out to sea
The next morning it was picked up
by a whaler 600 miles away and
brought into Provincetown. The
whole ascent and descent occupied
one-half hour. The sailors on the
whaler, when they saw the balloon
floating in the water, thought it was
an immense bubble and harpooned
it. 1t Immediately collapsed and
was taken on board, the Newbury-
port papers of the previous day
being found III the car. The pro-
fessor has been ever since actively
engaged as an aeronaut, and at var
